Can anyone offer advice, my prebuilt case (Lenovo y710 cube) has a rear-fan PSU, and most of the PSUs I see getting love on SD are the top/bottom fan style. Can somebody recommend a 650w PSU with a rear fan? TIA

Rear fan PSUs aren't as popular as they used to be since the fan must be smaller and therefore is much louder than a top/bottom fan psu.

If this fits in your computer without blocking the top or bottom fan, I think you would still be OK. I know that you have a relatively small case, but as long as this can be mounted so the fan can face your motherboard, air should still flow through the PSU.

Edit: Now that I actually look at the y710 cube, I see that the motherboard is directly adjacent to the power supply instead of flipped around so that the PCI slots would be on the bottom. Maybe you really do need a rear fan PSU.

Sorry it's late to the game, but it looks like your computer actually uses an SFX form factor power supply, not a standard ATX unit (I might be wrong and did not research much, but this is what pictures appear to show). It's a slightly more compact unit than ATX.
